I also don't see the team cutting him if he pays poorly either. They'll put him on the pine like they did Ogbuehi.

WJ III will command top dollar. Billings could be an economical re-sign, IMO.

Is Vigil worth keeping at a higher salary or are we better off drafting more LBers? I vote to draft young faster LBers.

My point is that with a new coach and and new team mindset, John Ross might as well have just been traded to a new team.  Anything is still possible with him, it's a great time for him to approach the game with renewed enthusiasm.  Seeing a fellow, younger teammate land a lucritive deal might motivate Ross in ways that Marvin could not, I guess we'll just have to wait and see on that..  The Tyler Boyd contract only goes to reinforce the notion, as Tyler went through a bit of a "Sophomore Slump", before rebounding in a very big way last season.  Several around here were ready to dismiss Boyd as "likely not going to be a star";  Many folks were wrong about Tyler Boyd, I'm just hoping that myself and others have been wrong about John Ross.
